More quotes by Indira Gandhi
All my games were political games I was, like Joan of Arc, perpetually being burned at the stake.
Indira Gandhi
Forgiveness is the virtue of Brave.
Indira Gandhi
[Mahatma Gandhi] said that the first president of India ought to be a harijan girl, an untouchable. He was so against the class system and the oppression of women that an untouchable woman became for him the epitome of purity and benediction.
Indira Gandhi
If I die a violent death, as some fear and a few are plotting, I know that the violence will be in the thought and the action of the assassins, not in my dying.
Indira Gandhi
The doctors shrugged their shoulders and grumbled that perhaps if I were to put on weight that would protect me a little - being so thin, I would never succeed in remaining pregnant.
Indira Gandhi
They're the problems of poverty, of the rights of the individual, of the changes brought about by technology. They're the ones that count, more than religion!
Indira Gandhi
I assure you we'll go on making our decisions without worrying whether it pleases or displeases the Soviet Union, China, America, France, or anyone else.
Indira Gandhi
I refuse to indulge in small talk. And compliments, if at all, I save for after the job is done.
Indira Gandhi
Popularity is not a gurantee of quality.
Indira Gandhi
I cannot understand how anyone can be an Indian and not be proud.
Indira Gandhi
It would seem that it was not in the interest of 'someone' for us to make progress. It was in 'someone's' interest that we be always at war, that we tear each other to pieces. Yes, I'm inclined to absolve the Pakistanis. How should they have behaved? Someone encouraged them to attack us, someone gave them weapons to attack us. And they attacked us.
Indira Gandhi
If we offer something to Bangladesh, it's obvious that Bangladesh is offering something to us. And why shouldn't Bangladesh be able to keep its promises? Economically it's full of resources and can stand on its feet. Politically it seems to me led by trained people. The refugees who took shelter here are going home.
Indira Gandhi
To become capable, one must have faith in oneself.
Indira Gandhi
Nothing that is worthwhile is ever easy.
Indira Gandhi
Do you know why I won the last elections? It was because the people liked me, yes, because I had worked, yes, but also because the opposition had behaved badly toward me. And do you know why I won this war? Because my army was able to do it, yes, but also because the Americans were on the side of Pakistan.
Indira Gandhi
If by happiness you mean ecstasy ... Yes, I've known ecstasy, and it's a blessing to be able to say it because those who can say it are very few. But ecstasy doesn't last long and is seldom if ever repeated.
Indira Gandhi
When it's impossible, it's better to stoop to compromise, without resisting and without complaining. People who complain are selfish.
Indira Gandhi
The struggle for independence here has been conducted in equal measure by men and by women. And when we got our independence, no one forgot that. In the Western world, on the other hand, nothing of the kind has ever happened - women have participated, yes, but revolutions have always been made by men alone.
Indira Gandhi
People with clenched fists can not shake hands.
Indira Gandhi
The future doesn't frighten me, even if it threatens to be full of other difficulties.
Indira Gandhi
